Mavs getting OKC to play in the mud. They need Chet or jdub to get going

Luka seems much better about his knee... I guess it's whatever they injected him with... crossing my fingers that it lasts

this game would have already been put to rest without Tim Chuckaway Jr.

It seems like it's an injection they can only give him every 2 or 3 games or something? Because he was good in Game 2 as well.

The difference between Ant and SGA AND Luka is that while the former two are great scorers they don't have that consistent playmaking ability to consciously involve the teammates first (like Jokic too) and that is oh-so-crucial when you have defensive gameplans like this of Kidd/Mavs.

Thunder have hit some brutal scoring droughts in this series.

Holmgren has been useless so far

Chuck Everett · Post #4393 » by **Chuck Everett** » Thu May 16, 2024 2:27 am

Gafford is 3 in the key. Surprised, it hasn't been called.

JDub was allowed a lot of contact on Kyrie there. He had an arm across his body that whole drive.

Luka's whining makes him fat. If he doesn not whine, he looks fit and plays like a Top 3 player in the league. LOL

Chuck Everett · Post #4396 » by **Chuck Everett** » Thu May 16, 2024 2:28 am

Wow, J-Dub with the jam.

J Will with authority

Monster dunk. Daaaang!

Okay good end to the half by OKC as Mavs were threatening a blowout already. All this momentum will crucial in the 3rd quarter start obviously and the Thunder needs to keep attacking and not lose the rhythm they established here.

Great half for the Mavs.

Who wins and goes to the WCFs?
